Love Question 24
Hi everyone! I hope you are all having a lovely week.
It’s time again for the Love Question of the week, but things have changed a little since last time…
Things are going to run a bit differently today because, as I mentioned, I have volunteered to take over the duties of posting the weekly Love Question from Aud. She’s taking a little break from the weekly meme, and I couldn’t be more happy to take over.
The whole thing is going to work completely the same, just in a different location. I would like to start the link love going again for this as well, so make sure you leave a link to your answer in the comments section and link to the sites featured with the questions.
On to the question…
Blogging is huge. You don’t need me to tell you that. Thousands of people blog and many of those people have multiple blogs. I write on blogs professionally as well as maintain personal blogs.
When it comes to blogging about your life and relationships, it’s easy to succumb to the temptation of revealing all. Everything from in the bedroom to at work, a blog can be a great way to get it all out there. I know people who get down to the nitty gritty of everything – including their relationship with their partners/spouses – on their blog.
But just because you can doesn’t mean you should. So, for Love Question 24, I want to know:
Do you/would you blog about personal things that include other people? Where do you draw the line (if anywhere) for what is and isn’t too personal?
I’m quite interested to read everybody’s answers.
This week, make sure you link to Aud, who got this whole thing started over on Short Sweet Love Poems.
Thank you to everyone who participates.

I have in the past and I’ll probably do it again. But I don’t just put it all out there. I will usually leaves names out of terribly personal stuff. I won’t talk about anything that hasn’t directly happened to me or affected me.
But in the past people have been ticked cuz I wrote about stuff that happened and they didn’t like being made to look like a fool. Well, they did look like fools and the situation I blogged about was something I was directly involved in and it’s my right.
I don’t blog about specific things with my marriage, just some things. I also don’t blog about other things with family ‘cuz they read my blog.

If I had a blog that family and friends knew about, I’d limit what I talked about. If I’m on some site and people don’t know me, I’d disclose more.
If I ever do create my own blog, I’d just not tell family and friends about it and not put identifying things on it where they could do a search and find it. Then I could talk about what I wanted to.

Jenera - Knowing just who reads your blog can definitely influence the content. I have yet to have a blog that is completely free of that influence.
Shannon - Yeah, that tends to be the easiest way, if you need a place to get out everything that’s on your mind.

I’m certainly glad you are happy to take over the duties for the weekly Love Q. Interesting question, this week. I’ll answer it in my other blog and will let you know once it is done.
